Yes, I put on sneakers and walked a few miles to the park adjacent to the Imperial Palace. The park was used to be the recreational garden that belonged to the now defunct Imperial Guard Division. A strange thing happened when I visited there about 6 years ago. I saw a white sparrow. (I wrote about this in a story poem and posted it on my blog. I’d like you to take a look at it when you have the time.) The strange thing was not that alone but I also saw a white crow when I visited that park again a few days later. I ran to chase it until it perched on a tree branch to see it really was a crow. It cawed and a man who also chased it said, “It is a crow. Strange things happen in this park.” I decided to write a story poem about it then, and I still keep the idea about the story that came up on my mind at that time. I’ll tell you about the idea when we have the chance and I’ll also write about it sometime in the future.🙂

Hm a white sparrow and a white crow…thats very strange…could it be like ‘albinism’ you know like white lion breeds that are famous now. But again it is starnge to see a sparrow white one 6 yrs back and a crow white one 6 yrs later..must mean something. i wil b sure to read it Mr Ashiaki🙂 and i would love to hear about the story tooo..🙂

No the white crow 6 years later, but only a few days later in the same week. The park official said someone took photos of it. They may still keep the pictures in the park office. I don’t know if they were albinos. Absent of the color anyway.🙂

As you said they might have been. I’ve heard of another incidence of a white sparrow but never of a white crow in my long life. There are rather often incidences of white snakes though. Some people are pleased when they find them because they think white snakes carry god’s errands.

I found the copy still left in my computer of the email I sent to a blogger friend then about seeing the white crow, and my memory was wrong. Its wings were perfectly white but other parts must have been black. It looked like a perfectly white bird when it perched on the tree branch. Anyway I can see it on my mind in my present way as something to develop a story poem though I don\t known when.🙂

You are right. In fact the white one was being flanked by a bunch of ordinary black ones. The man who also chased the birds with me said he had seen them before and that the white one was always chased around by others. But to me it looked like leading the others.🙂
